Upgrading Video?

[Zaitsev]

While doing research to upgrade my own video card, I found that XFX is offering a lifetime warranty on their cards. This lifetime warranty is for the original owner and it can be transferred to the second owner of the card if you ever sell. I like a company that stands behind their product!!!

I found a pretty good deal on the XFX GeForce 8800 GTX Extreme 768 for $499 at NewEgg.com before a $40 mail in rebate. You can get this card brand new for $459 with free 3-day shipping. Here's the link:

I've got this from Dave ( Yourself ).
Just compare 8800GTX and 8800 GT. same performance for a $200 less.

Thanks, Salaga (and Dave). Maybe I'll go that route and save the extra couple hundred bucks.

Looks like the 8800GT is PCI Express 2.0. I think my system supports PCI Express x16. Are they interchangeable?
